[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 312756] Re: support graphics card hot switch
bdkoepke, thank you for your help. With your pointers, I ended up compiling my own kernel with a new DSDT.hex (unfortunately current kernels do not support loading DSDT.aml files from initramfs). On idle, with WiFi off and low screen brightness I can also get roughly 10500 mW, with an estimated 7 hours of battery life. Of course, in an ideal world we'd find the appropriate progression of acpi calls so that a custom DSDT would not be necessary. Even better would be a true switchable graphics solution, although since Nvidia's binary driver won't support it, the bottleneck is still getting good 3D out of nouveau. -- support graphics card hot switch https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/312756 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 312756] Re: support graphics card hot switch
Yes an ideal world ,sounds like windoze ?.nvidia's binary wont support it ?,if
they back ported ( cough) or allowed the windows port ( developed on nux -with
emacs & closed source) for use in linux it all would make sense and the X server
would need an update to support more than the current multi-seat capabilities
that it currently supports ,which can pull
two screens together which is somewhat occurs in windoze.
This says it all ,so until this changes multiple hacks of dsdt's ,wmi drivers
,and hacked concurrently will be required to get
things to work ,and /or Nouveau has reached further dev.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 312756] Re: support graphics card hot switch
I spend a great deal of time myself attempting to figure out the u43jc dsdt, and I was able to find the _PS0 and _PS3 methods. Since _PS3 is the method for powering off devices, and it was the only occurrence of _PS3 in the entire DSDT.dsl, I figure this is correct. (It appears at \_SB.PCI0.RP00.VGA). I have no idea if this is right or not, but this is the best I can do. I also attached the isolated _PS3 method. I looked through it myself, and was unable to find any discernible method that would shut off the GPU... Any help would be greatly appreciated, I am willing to try test commands posted. ** Attachment added: "Asus_U43jc_DSDT_PS3.dsl" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/312756/+attachment/1597137/+files/Asus_U43jc_DSDT_PS3.dsl -- support graphics card hot switch https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/312756 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 312756] Re: support graphics card hot switch
One more update,
I ran kernel 2.6.28 with dsdt from initramfs support (too lazy to
compile my own kernel...)
I modified the _SP3 method I attached above, and removed the first
condition (line 15029), and its corresponding closing bracket.
If (LEqual (P3MO, 0x01)) {
}
After removing the lines, I ran
echo '\_SB.PCI0.RP00.VGA._PS3' > /proc/acpi/call
and miraculously my power consumption went down from 20W to 12W.
(Horay! I can actually get eight hours of battery life now!)
I've got a few questions for anyone with even a remote knowledge of
ACPI.
First of all, I have thus-far assumed that LEqual stands for "Less than
or equal to". Under this assumption, I don't understand how P3MO would
ever be greater than 0x01 because it isn't changed to anything but zero
or one.
This is every line I found P3MO on...
14781: Name (P3MO, 0x00)
14885: Store (One, \_SB.PCI0.RP00.VGA.P3MO)
14889: Store (Zero, \_SB.PCI0.RP00.VGA.P3MO)
15157: Store (0x00, P3MO)
Maybe someone could enlighten me, or should I post this somewhere else?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 312756] Re: support graphics card hot switch
Haha, never mind I'm dumb, figured out the P3MO thing, it is really
0x01 <= P3MO
So if it is 0x01 then it runs the appropriate code...
So there are two ways to do this, I can simply write an adapter for
acpi_call.ko that will quickly run
Store (One, \_SB.PCI0.RP00.VGA.P3MO)
\_SB.PCI0.RP00.VGA._PS3
Or I can trace down the condition for the following:
If (LEqual (SUBF, 0x1A))
{
If (And (Local0, 0x01))
{
ShiftRight (Local0, 0x18, Local2)
If (LEqual (Local2, 0x03))
{
Store (One, \_SB.PCI0.RP00.VGA.P3MO)
In the _DSM method
(I'm assuming Local2 is local to only _DSM, so I'm not exactly sure what
is going on here, or how to fix this...)
Any comments would be appreciated.

** Description changed: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=258304 Hybrids with the Ability to turn off the 3d chip: AMD/ATI calls it PowerXpress and Nvidia HybridPower. It uses 2 graphics cards, one energy efficient with little 3d power and the other for gaming (fast and uses more/a lot of power), the user can choose which chip to use. This is not a new concept. Sony has build in 2 graphics chips into some of their laptops for years. In the past a reboot was required to switch between the chips. With the new generation it is possible to change between chips on the fly, the screen will flicker but no need to reboot. At least in Windows Vista (XP, Linux not supported) the user can switch freely between the chips or set up a profile to do so automatically (eg when on battery use low power chip and when plugged in use the more powerful chip). The graphic card hybrid not only works with two Nvidia or AMD cards but the low power Intel graphics solutions (mostly shard memory) can also be combined with 3d chips from AMD or Nvidia. This solution is ideal for users who want maximum battery life and be able to play current games. The most likely combination is Intel shard memory graphics card for battery life and some low to mid level 3d chip. This will not give great 3d performance but enable you to play some games. Limitations are the drivers. Special drivers are needed depending on which graphic chips are combined in the hybrid. This will most likely make you depended on the Notebook manufactures driver support. It is uncertain if 3rd party drivers (such as laptopvideo2go) will be usable. The following notebooks have Nvidia hybrid graphics (as seen on the link below): http://www.nvidia.com/object/io_1221136906708.html - Sony VAIO Z (Nvidia GeForce 9300M GS & Intel GMA 4500MHD) - Fujitsu Siemens Amilo XI 3650 (Nvidia GeForce 9600M GT & Intel GMA 4500MHD) - BenQ Joybook S42 (Nvidia GeForce 9600M GT & Intel GMA 4500MHD) On the NVidia side, we reported this issue in the nvnews forum: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=1916754 On the AMD/ATI side, we got words from Alex Deucher that he will liaise with AMD for docs in time: > We can definitely look into it, the problem is we already have a > backlog of stuff with higher priority (finishing 3D, newer power > management bits, investigating IDCT/UVD, etc.) to work through at the > moment, so I cannot say when we'd get to hybrid graphics. The other > problem is that since many of these hybrid solutions are multi-vendor, > we may not have the rights release certain IP. Even if would could > release some information, as has been stated previously, the driver > stack needs significant work to support something like this. On the Sony Vaio Z series, right now both cards are visible under Linux, but there is no way to hot-switching-off (if that is a word...) the Nvidia card. There are currently ~45 users of Sony Vaio Z series using Linux that would like this feature to be implemented.

Hey Rodrigues Bruno, Here is an ubuntu compiled kernel that will work for the U43Jc Headers: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9907150/linux-headers-2.6.35-22-generic_2.6.35-22.33_amd64.deb Kernel: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9907150/linux-image-2.6.35-22-generic_2.6.35-22.33_amd64.deb Then simply do: echo '\_SB.PCI0.RP00.VGA._PS3' > /proc/apci/call Be warned though, THIS IS ONLY FOR the U43Jc. Sometimes you have to reset it again by running echo '\_SB.PCI0.RP00.VGA._PS0' > /proc/acpi/call and then run the above again... This replaces the DSDT in memory when booting, I don't guarantee that it will work for everyone, but it works for me.

Hey Rodrigues, Glad to hear this worked for you, instead of using a script download: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/38458054/nvidia-g210m-acpi-source_0.1.0-1 %7Eppa-karmic_all.deb This was originally designed for lenovo laptops. Kudos to Sylvain Joyeux for creating this. I also attached usr.src.nvidia-g210m- acpi-0.1.0.nvidia_g210m_acpi.c.patch (If on ubuntu run patch -p0 < usr.src.nvidia.g210m-acpi-0.1.0.nvidia_g210m_acpi.patch from /, then run the following commands, as root): dkms remove -m nvidia-g210m-acpi -v 0.1.0 --all // Remove the already installed driver dkms add -m nvidia-g210m-acpi -v 0.1.0 // Re-add it to the tree dkms build -m nvidia-g210m-acpi -v 0.1.0 // Build the module dkms install -m nvidia-g210m-acpi -v 0.1.0 // Install the module Now just do an: echo nvidia_g210m_acpi >> /etc/modules This patch changes the acpi call to work with the U43Jc instead of lenovo. It also calls kill_nvidia() after suspend... This should load the module at boot, and it should call it after every suspend/resume. Also, you can easily get seven hours by running: pm-suspend true // or putting it in /etc/rc.local Then install powertop, and it should give you some further hints.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 312756] Re: support graphics card hot switch
I am also effected by this. My employer has just bought me an Acer Aspire 5935G specifically so I can do development work on an OpenGL based application. However I can not access the Nvidia graphics card. The machine has two graphics cards: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G96 [GeForce GT 130M] (rev a1) which in Windows one can switch between. I installed Ubuntu 10.04 and it just uses the Intel card, but it does work, just rather slowly. When I install the proprietary nvidia driver opengl stops working: glxinfo name of display: :0.0 Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". 3 GLXFBConfigs: visual x bf lv rg d st colorbuffer ax dp st accumbuffer ms cav id dep cl sp sz l ci b ro r g b a bf th cl r g b a ns b eat -- Segmentation fault I tried installing it myself from the Nvidia download site, and via Ubuntu Software Centre but the result was the same. (NB Installing it by hand was tricky till I realised I had to stop the nouveau module from grabbing the device before trying to do the install. (lspci -v, and look what module is using the device) ) In addition, the tty terminals (ctrl-alt-f1 etc.) stop working so it is only possible to log in via X11. When I try to switch to them the screen still displays the x11 screen. This makes it hard to fix the problem. There is no access in the bios to control the graphics. I tried the solution suggested in another bug report of setting the bus id: BusID "PCI:1:0:0" but that had no effect, I still get the intel card chosen as primary device (from Xorg log:) Primary Device is: PCI 0...@00:02:0 For me this is more than just a "wish list" item, as it prevents me using the machine for it's primary purpose. I really hope there is some solution soon, I am not too bothered about being able to hot switch , I just want some way to choose the right graphics card. I am considering removing the module that drives the intel card, so it has to use the nvidia card, but that seems a bit drastic. -- support graphics card hot switch https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/312756 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

I have an HP Pavilion DV6 with an ATI 5650 and Intel GMA switchable graphics, there is no option in the BIOS to disable or control the graphics AT ALL.

@drphd: Your method in #188 works on my Studio XPS 1340. I can watch the drain rate in the Power Monitor go up or down by about 5 watts as I toggle the discrete card. Power Monitor says that's good for an extra 45 minutes of battery life.
